Egads! Those of you who read the Harry Potter books probably also watch the Harry Potter movies and thus know the actor who plays Harry--Daniel Radcliffe. Well, the young chap (17 years old) is expanding his acting experience from film to theatre and will star in Equus on London's West End the end of the month. It's a bold choice intended to show the world the range of his acting.
Audiences who see Equus will no longer see him simply as young Harry Potter, the hero of the movie series for children (and for the young at heart). No, it will be apparent to audiences who see Equus that Daniel is thoroughly grown up. You see, audiences who see Equus will see Daniel in the nude. His role in the acclaimed play requires him to perform in the buff in a sex scene and extended flashback.
Compare and contrast: publicity stills from the upcoming movie Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix vs. publicity stills for the upcoming play Equus.
Have you pre-ordered the seventh book in the Harry Potter series? You can order a copy in advance from Barnes and Noble, they will send it to you when it comes out, July something? I did this with the sixth one, and loved the surprise when the book was sent to the house.
ReplyDeleteWe discussed doing this. Then we remembered how readily available the last book was in stores all over town, even though I had stood in line at Barnes & Noble for a copy the night it was released. Wal-Mart will be selling the seventh book dirt-cheap (so they say on-line), so that's our current plan.
